faroo

Gem providing a API for the Faroo search engine. https://rubygems.org/gems/faroo

Notes

To improve performance results are retrieved in chunks of 10 simultaneously through threads. Threads are timed out after MAX_TTL seconds (currently 2). It is best effort, users will see an inconsistent number of retrieved results and tests will fail if requests are slow.

Installation

• install the gem

gem install faroo

Example

Faroo.new(token).web('nanotubes')
=> [ #<FarooResult:...>, ... ]

Contributing

Running the tests:

TOKEN='any-string-should-work' bundle exec rspec
